The brush-tailed bettong, also known as the woylie, is a macropod. This means it has the characteristic strong tendons in its legs for hopping, and long hind feet. When danger threatens, it has a tendency to move away in a zig-zag fashion with long hops.
It is a marsupial, so it has a pouch in which the young joeys are reared. Its tail has a crest of longer fur on the top - hence its name "brush-tailed". Its tail is also partially prehensile, enabling it to carry nesting material.
